We're off!

David finished his mandatory ethics CLE at the same time my computer finished backing up before we got into the car and Roger drove us to the airport with about 350 to 400 lbs of luggage.  Lewis helped us get boarding passes and luggage tickets and took the bags away.  He told me "Miss Dorothy, you don't need to do anything, you've worked hard enough already".
                                               
David took his usually 15 to 30 minutes to get through the Pre check security line because of his artificial knee.  He sat down to put the luggage tag receipts of the back of the boarding passes     and noticed they were going to Ft. Lauderdale!  No bathroom for Dorothy.  No opportunity to buy Hawaiian luggage tags.  David hurried out of the security area to try to change our bags and our selves to go to Orlando, not Ft.  Lauderdale.  I looked into the travel book and sure enough, our boarding passes said Orlando.  But Lewis had put David's credit card into the machine and evidently it came up with our Oceania itinerary instead which was to go to Ft.  Lauderdale.  David saw at least 3 bags with the new correct bag claims before he was escorted to security once again, where the same TSA agent once again patted him down completely before letting him back into the gate area.  Lewis did save us $150 in extra luggage fees, however.  
I am writing this on my iPad at the Seattle airport.   Here is the photo of our landing on a clear morning with Mt. Ranier in the background.

  1. Mandatory CLE? For what bar association? That's a lot of luggage!
